Sam, Tom and Jerry.

One day found toad waiting at
my greenhouse door. "Well," / said ,
" come in if you want to; guess you'll
pay your way; at any rate, it won't cost
much to board you" He seemed to
understand my words, for in he hoped,
and rested on the walk to look about
him. He must have sent some word
by telephone to his friends of his dis
covery, for only two mornings after
ward, at the very same door, there sat
another toad. WE'LL" said, " surely
this is a committee on greenhouses,
and here is No. 9. Won't you walk in
too?" And, as pushed open the door,
in he went. The fourth morning l let
in No. ga monstrous toad. Once in
the house, they showed no desire to get
out, and in few days | began to be
surprised to see what wise little crea-
lures they were. They were just as
unlike as three boys could be. Tom
was rather shy, and kept by himself.
Jerry was sociable and soon followed
me all around. Sam was too large and
too old to hop very briskly, and would
spend whole forenoon looking out of
the window or climbing along the rough
stone-wall that forms one side of the
greenhouse. l began to teach them to
know me by making certain sound
and calling them by name as l worked
around the plants. Jerry was the first
TO make friends. Before long, wherever
L might be busy, he quickly made his
way toward me and was at once re-
warded with worm or slug. And
how cunningly he ate it. He would
pretend at first that he did not see
it; suddenly he would turn around,
and, with head down, watch it as cat
watches a mouse, each toe twitching.
Then a sudden grab-and the worm
was in his mouth. He always had
hard time swallowing it, and: when it
was fairly down, he would give one
last gulp of delight Pretty soon they
would come when put out my hand,
and at last would climb on to my hand
to get their food l often filled tin
dish with slugs and worms, and to see
the three toads around it eating was
very amusing. One day in February
Jerry acted strangely. He kept lifting
his legs and seemed uneasy. noticed
thin skin rolled up about the middle
of his back. He put up his right leg
and drew it out of this skin as easy as
papa takes off his overcoat, and then
did the same with his left foot. He
rolled up the skin, stuffed it down his
throat and swallowed it; and there he
was with a bright green coat on. He
had taken off his winter coat and put
on his spring suit. The gentle heat of
the greenhouse had made him think
that spring had come, for it was a little
early for spring garments. Later the
other two toads did the same. These
toads are dainty little things They
utterly refuse to eat dead bug or
worm. There is nothing vicious about
them. Their little tongues are soft as
silk. / never heard but one of them
make the least sound, and that was the
smallest kind of squeal, when greatly
frightened.-E. /. Gilbert, IN Our
Little Ones.

Frankness and HarShness.

How often bitter speech, which has
caused keen pain to the hearer, has
been followed by such words as these,
as if in justification of the unkindness
shown: "I'm a plain, blunt person,
and | have to speak out just what /
think. People must take me as the
Lord made me-" Anything meaner
than such an attempt to throw the re-
sponsibility for ones ugliness of temper
off upon the Lord it would be hard to
imagine. Frankness of speech is one
thing, but harshness is very different
thing The Lord never endowed any
man with such a disposition, or put him
in such circumstances that he was
obliged to make singing, cruel re-
marks. Some people have more diff
Guilty than others in being sweet
tempered and kindly-spoken, but when
one fails it is his own fault. Exchange.

The West African Pig.

During the winter of 1875 received
from Mr.. Cross of Liverpool a small
box about sin inches square. Upon
opening the JXa wee striped little pig,
little bigger han a rat, put up his little
snOut and made a small squeak. With
the winter advancing, and knowing
from his form of ears that his native
home was in West Africa, / took him
out and gave him good feed of warm
milk, boiled rice and sugar. wrapped
him up in flannel, and sent him back
to Liverpool, with note to say could
not purchase him, as none of the keep
ers would be troubled with such baby,
and | felt sure the poor little fellow
would die if placed in the collection. A
day or two afterwards l was surprised
to receive the same little box. and more
so to find the unfortunate little pig in
side, and note from Cross to say the
animal was of no use to him; he could
not be bothered with it, and he begged
me to accept it. felt hurt to find this
poor little fellow thus an outcast, and
apparently friendless. ! took him in
my hands and conveyed him at once
into my kitchen. Calling the maid,
asked her if she would take charge of
this little outcast, telling her at the
same time if she treated him kindly
and kept him alive for one month /
would give her a sovereign. The girl,
pleased with the offer, took poor Dick,
for that was at once his adopted name,
and placed him in basket with warm
blanket near the fire. All went well
with Dick from this moment Warm
food and dainty morsels were Dicks
frequent allowance. He was soon al
lowed to walk about the house, and,
unlike most other swine. was the clean
est of animals. Few dogs or cats could
equal him in cleanliness in the house.
and thus Dick became universal favor
lite. In the early morning, before the
gardens were opened to the public,
Dick would follow me on my rounds
like pet dog, stopping occasionally
to grub up with his snout a few
earth-worms for himself, of which
he was very fond. He liked to play
with brush-broom. When held to
him, he would make charge at it with
his tusks, small as they were at the
time, and spin around in the most ex-
traordinary way, dashing off to some
distance and then returning to the
charge. He was never tired of this
sham-fighting, and never got out of
temper. Dick, however, soon became
too big for the chairs and tables, and,
trying to run under them, turned them
over. In fact, it soon began to appear
that Dick had notion that whatever
was put on the table to eat was in
tended for him, and that the proper
way to get it was to turn the table
over. 1t was therefore decided on
July 25th, 1877, that the time had ar
rived when Dick must leave the house,
and he has since formed part of the
collection in the menagerie. Life of
